The term "ghost" refers to any spirit of a dead person that has not ventured to the world beyond, usually because of unresolved issues on the living world. Ghosts come in a variety of forms, being incorporeal, taking physical forms, or being nonexistent yet with sill a tinge of "reality" in their intangible aura. Ghosts are often thought to haunt the places where they died, or places of great significance in their life. For example, if a bride was stood up on her wedding day and took her life soon afterward, she would haunt the church where she was to be married, replaying her would-be wedding-day over and over again.

In Eastern cultures, the term ghost ofte refers to a person's reincarnation.
